Question

Choose the correct alternative which will improve the quoted part of the given sentence.
We demonstrated to them how we 'were prepared' the drawings.

A.

Are prepared

B.

Have prepare

C.

Had prepared

D.

No improvement

Correct option is C


The correct substitution is: “had prepared”.
Explanation:
The sentence talks about a past action completed before another past action, which is where past perfect tense should be used — “had prepared.”
“Were prepared” would be incorrect because it implies passive voice or continuous tense, which does not suit the structure.
Grammatical Rule Used:
When one past action preceded another past action, we use Past Perfect (had + V3).
Explanation in Hindi:
जब दो घटनाएँ भूतकाल में हुई हों और एक घटना दूसरी से पहले हुई हो, तो पहले हुई घटना के लिए “Past Perfect” (had + V3) का प्रयोग करते हैं।
इसलिए सही वाक्य होगा – “how we had prepared the drawings.”
Example:
He told us how he had solved the problem.
